Question

When the magnetic field is parallel to the plane of the area, the magnetic flux through the coil is
Options
A zero
Correct Answer
B infinite
C maximum
D equal to BA
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Flux Φ = BAcosθ, where θ is measured from the normal to the surface. If B lies in the plane of the coil, it is perpendicular to the normal (θ=90°), so Φ = 0.

Hint

Remember flux depends on the angle between B and the area's normal vector, not the plane itself.
